How is this Graph produced via GCHART and SGPLOT

pchegoor — Mon, 21 Nov 2016 21:51:34 GMT

Can Someone please let me know how the attached Stacked Horizontal Bar graph was produced using GCHART Procedure? I found this Sample graph online a couple of years ago but do not know how this was produced at that time. It is Obviously using SASHELP.CLASS dataset.

Also can this easily be produced via SGPLOT too? I am using SAS 9.4M3.

Thanks,

Hi Reeza,

The PDF should be displaying. Are you able to download it and then view?

No, include as an image in your main post.

Or someone else can answer your question.

Thanks @Rick_SAS .It looks like this Graph is easier using GCHART than SGPLOT.

What is "easy" depend on the individual. If you find GCHART easier, that's fine. Personally, I don't think it is too hard to run a data step to find the center of each block and then use the TEXT statement to plot the names:

proc sort data=sashelp.class out=class;
by age;
run;

data class;
set class;
by age;
if first.age  then cumheight = height/2;
else cumHeight + height;
run;

proc sgplot data=class noautolegend;
hbarbasic age / response=height group=name groupdisplay=stack;
text y=age x=cumHeight text=name;
run;
